CYPRUS: IASIS medical centre at Leptos Kamares Village continues to save lives

The Kamares Emergency Medical Centre opened in October 2007 and after almost ten years of success, continues to offer an invaluable service to the residents of Kamares and the nearby villages of Tala, Koili and Tremithousa.

 
The purpose-built and fully equipped centre, which operates on a 24/7 basis, allows all members to receive free emergency treatment in their own home or at the medical centre. Doctors from the IASIS private hospital are on duty at the centre five mornings a week for non-emergency consultations and minor surgery procedures. The GP service is also available to non members.
The medical centre is funded by the Leptos Group together with a small annual membership fee of 95 euros per member. The fee covers round-the-clock staffing by nurses and doctors and is a non-profit institution. Children under 12 are treated free of charge provided their parents or grandparents are members of the scheme.
Following a generous donation from a Kamares family, in gratitude for saving their child's life after an unfortunate swimming pool incident, the facility was extended to incorporate a fully equipped trauma room for emergency cases.
